 If I correctly understand the current state of this problem,
 mythtranscode, as late as 0.17, but fixed somewhere in CVS (maybe) has
 a problem where it switches to outputting RAW mode frames, due to
 system load during the transcode.  Captain Murdoch (from IRC) was
 chasing this around, and I believe he said he found it, though I don't
 know whether the patch was committed yet or not.

I committed a patch to CVS that I hoped would fix this issue.  I set a flag
to prevent going to RAW mode when transcoding.  I've never seen the
problem myself and thought this only occurred when going to RTJPEG.

If anyone is seeing this problem running current CVS, please let me know
and I'll take another look.

[mythtv-users] mythweb keybindings mouse control

2005-03-27 Thread Brian LeFevre

I have a wireless multi-button mouse that I would like to substitute for 
a remote control(without losing any mouse functions).  I have played 
around with the mythweb keybinding page trying to add button 4 button 5 
(mouse wheel)... as keys.  I then went and found the correct xkeycode 
from linux/input.h and tried to use them.  However after restarting 
the frontend those keys still do nothing.

Is there a way to do this?  Does myth keys accept keycodes?  I figure if 
it did that would mean I could map my buttons.

Thanks,
B

 Yes.  That patch isn't correct, and I'm not going to stop using standard

 fairly sure people are using native 64-bit stuff elsewhere, so it's just 
 seems like Debian's behind as usual.

i upgraded the patch for mythtv 0.17 anyway, as i don't want to wait for
debian/pure64 to fix the glibc.

here it is, for all the people that like to run mythtv 0.17 on

[mythtv-users] Commercial Detection

2005-03-27 Thread aaron

Hi,
I don't mean this to be a complaint, but rather more of a data point...

On Jan 17, there was a fairly major revamping of the way commerical
detection works. I found that with this new code, detection was
working better than I ever imagined was possible.

Then, on Jan 23, there was a modification to the brightness
thresholds. With this change, the commercial detection was still VERY
good, but not as good as the Jan 17 version.

Since then, other changes were made, including some sort of
aspect-ratio detection, I think. I've found that with the current
version, detection isn't as good as it was even prior to Jan 17.

It works really well on some shows, especially ones that are
letterboxed, but on others it looks almost random sometimes. A couple
of shows that used to detect really well no longer detect well. For
example, Jeopardy (you can stop laughing now :) . The first couple of
breaks detect fine, but the Final Jeopardy round is detected as a
commercial now so that, essentially, the show ends after Double
Jeopardy. It does this consistently now, night after night. With the
old version of the commercial detection, all the commercials were
detected correctly.

I don't know what to suggest for how to improve it. I'm sure the
current version is working great for some people. But for me, it's not
as good as it used to be. And it's not as good as I know it can be.

[mythtv-users] Up/Down keys

2005-03-27 Thread aaron

Hi,

Is there a way to stop the Up/Down keys from jumping back and forward
while watching a recording? This feature has been bugging me ever
since the code was checked in way back when. Particularly since it's
unintuitive; Up should jump forward rather than backward. But, I
checked in MythWeb's key bindings and the only keys I have mapped to
jumping forward and backward are PgUp and PgDn, so it seems like
Up/Down are still hardcoded.

Re: [mythtv-users] Small Disto for FrontEnd

Okay then, in the case of NFS then, it would be to my advantage to do
the gigabit networking that I was thinking was pointless for a mythtv
network then, since everything is initially ran from network, from
what I understand?

 All PXE boot does it bring the kernel in.  Once the actually kernel that

 I'm not sure how NFS handles caching.  Programs that are running have
 their active parts sitting in memory.  A peek at 'vmstat' on my running
 epia mythfrontend shows:
 procs ---memory-- ---swap-- -io --system--
 cpu
 r  b   swpd   free   buff  cache   si   sobibo   incs us sy

 0  0  0 185596  0  234600098 0  151   138  7  0
 92  0
 
 So, there's some caching going on.
 
 It's a good idea to use a ramdisk for /tmp.
 I have in /etc/fstab:
 tmpfs   /tmp   tmpfs   defaults,nosuid,size=4M,mode=777   0 0

Re: [mythtv-users] Commercial Detection

I was having similar problems with my new addiction Nip/Tuck.  I have
decided to just go on what commercial detection has been finding 
just creating a cut list before I watch the show.  Hell, it takes 5-10
minutes to put together a cutlst  the show doesnt break when suddenly
a commercial is detected 5 seconds long when Christian and Julia start
to make out (Megan O'hare episode), or a 3 second commercial break
while Juila walks in on Matt's 3 some.  Its probably better this way,
it forces me to perfect all the commercial breaks before I get ready
to burn to DVD, intead of just go on the breaks that are still a
little bit off.

Re: [mythtv-users] Frontend slave mode - duplicating a master frontend

Well you can always hit spacebar before living the room in the case of

don't watch any live tv, and dont have any advice for it, however.

 Most of the time, I'd like it to be as independent as my other

 mode, where it can show whatever is showing on my master living
 room frontend.  I'm mostly thinking about watching live tv and watching
 recordings - rather than mythvideo.  So that you could walk between the
 two rooms and carry on watching the same show.
 
 Is this ever likely to be possible with mythtv?  (Obviously there will
 be synchronisation issues, but I think I can live with a certain amount
 of that.)

That'll get you DVB drivers that include support for the HD-3000. ATrpms

RE: [mythtv-users] Commercial Detection

2005-03-27 Thread William

I find that it detects actual commercials quite well but sometimes does a
false commercial break. For that reason I turn off automatic skip and have a
button programmed on the remote to skip forward and another to skip back
that way if it screws up and marks the last 10 minutes of the show I can
jump back and then use the FF and RWD buttons to jump thru the bad
detection. Works quite well and wife acceptance factor is 100% now that she
is properly trained :) She sees the start of a commerical and loves the fact
she can hit one button and skip them all.

[mythtv-users] How well does commercial detection work?

2005-03-27 Thread SpikeyGG




All,

I'm wondering how well everyone else's commercial 
detection is working? From what I've seen it seems like it gives me the 
basic jist of where a commercialIS and I go in and set the breakpoints to 
wherethe commercialreally starts and stops. However, I noticed 
from a recent recording of American Idol the breaks get further and further 
apart as the program continues. Here's what I've found:

Using default, blank frame detection.

1st commercial break
Enter off by 25.13 seconds
Exit off by 19.17 seconds
2nd commercial break
Enter off by 28.62 seconds
Exit off by 34.68 seconds
3rd commercial break
Enter off by 49.70 seconds
Exit off by 49.28 seconds
4th commercial break
Enter off by 58.18 seconds
Exit off by 91.65 seconds
5th commercial break
Enter off by 81.06 seconds
Exit off by 78.30 seconds

Does anyone have the commercial detection working 
flawlessly (or is that not possible)?

Thanks,
-Greg

[mythtv-users] Record this show on this day every week

Is it possible to tell MythTV to record a show on a specific day every  
week, when that show sometimes moves? The record in this timeslot every  
week option sometimes isn't enough. :)

Just asking because on some shows I now have 5 or 6 schedules for the same  
day since the channel likes to move things around, sometimes as little as  
5 minutes.

  Actually, 3GHz is recommended for an HD setup. You can get away with less
  on a frontend-only system, but an all-in-one box needs to do more than
  just playback, so you'd be pushing it.

 I don't really NEED full HD quality.  I will only be using SVIDEO
 output through an NVIDIA MX4000.
 I am just hoping to avoid the digital--analog--digital conversions
 by just using the firewire.

 Is it possible to record with firewire... but perhaps not capture at
 full HD quality?

No. Recording HD is a matter of dumping the encoded-by-the-head-end mpeg2 
stream to a file on disk. Can't resize it at recording time. You can 
transcode it to something smaller, but that's a rather time-consuming task, 
and won't do you any good for live TV.

 If so, maybe I can get away with less than 3Ghz?  It 
 seems like the price breaks are currently just bellow that.

With recent optimizations, while 3GHz is still recommended in your situation 
(combined backend/frontend) for optimal performance, its certainly possible 
you could get away with a bit less. I have a viewing-only system that is a 
mere 1.53GHz (Athlon XP 1800) and it handles 720p programming fine (though 
the cpu is pretty much pegged) and can *almost* keep up w/1080i and a deint 
filter (frequent stutter, but almost watchable). I've done quite a bit of 
work to tweak this machine to be able to get there though, its not something 
I'd recommend to anybody. Its more just a challenge for me -- I have a very 
under-utilized 2600 proc I could put in its place, but where's the fun in 
that? :-)

The odd thing with HD playback is that some folks with machines that should be 
more than powerful enough encounter playback problems (stutter, pegged cpu), 
while others (like myself) manage to get significantly slower systems 
working, so there's more to it than just raw CPU power. Choice of motherboard 
may have an impact, but I couldn't say definitively. Dunno about choice of 
kernel, I haven't had a problem with either stock FC3 kernels or 
hand-compiled ones.

A 2.8GHz P4 is probably fairly safe, and you could even have success with 2.4, 
but like I said, ymmv... Hyper-Threading seems to be a big win, you 
definitely want a P4 w/HT.

me. I'm using more than just the default though. Can't remember the exact 
setting, but basically just turned on everything.

commercial really starts and stops.  However, I noticed from a recent 
recording of American Idol the breaks get further and further apart as 
the program continues.  Here's what I've found:

Does anyone have the commercial detection working flawlessly (or is that

Well, this is still pre 1.0 software.  I dont think flawless is going to 
happen any time soon.  Pretty damn well? Yup, Ive got that.  Only a 
couple HD shows get screwy, Alias and Lost off the top of my head.  SD 
shows are spot on except for maybe a sec or two.  I have to say tho, 
about 90-95% of the time, commflagg works fine for me using the Blank

[mythtv-users] Is HDTV on a Pundit possible, or is it time for me to give up?

2005-03-27 Thread Jason Weinstein

I've got a Pundit (not Pundit-R) with a P4 3.06 with HyperThreading
and 512MB of RAM. I'm trying to use the built-in SIS video to connect
to my analog tv via S-Video. Buying a new TV is financially out of the
question for now. I've got a PVR-350 and a pcHDTV HD-3000 in the two
PCI slots.

The PVR-350 works great, but I'm using it as a 250 because I am not
using its video-out. I'v got the HDTV working via the DVB drivers, but
veiwing any channel uses 100% of the processor (at least 45% is being
used by X) so I'm getting dropped frames.

After many trials, different kernels, different drivers, different
settings, and upgrading my CPU from a 2.4 to the 3.06 w/HT, ATSC is
still not watchable. I'm not even running any deinterlacing filters,
which make the interlaced programes even more un-watchable. My best
guess now is that the SIS driver is having to scale everything to NTSC
resolution and that scaling is what's got X's cpu usage so high.

So, would I be better off using a nVidia video card/driver in my
situation? If so, I'd have to pull the PVR-350 (and I was looking
forward to having 2 tuners). If not, I guess I'll just leave the
pcHDTV idle until I can buy a digital TV (at least a year off).  Or
does anyone else have any ideas?

Thanks,
Jason

Your pc-HDTV-3000 can tune digital cable when it's unencrypted.  Not
HBO, but many of your local HD channels will be tunable that way, as
well as sometimes some others.  That's the law.

The law also lets you demand a digital cable box with ieee1394 jacks
on it (known as firewire or dtvlink).   Be sure to insist on that.  Then
you can get digital out of that box.

Re: [mythtv-users] MythTV w/Digital Cox Service ?

2005-03-27 Thread Richard Sears

Hi Brad,

Actually the Dual MP system I had laying around doing nothing, so I am
building it to be a dedicated backend system. I have 4 300GB Raptor
drives on an LSI SATA RAID controller on the system, and the plan is
to have two or three front end systems all talking to the backend
system. So the Dual system will be up in my office, so noise is not a
factor.

I got the pvr-350 and the PCHDTC thinking that I needed them, but it
sounds like I can use the firewire for everything that I need.

When using the firewire, I am assuming that I would need a separate
'digital' box and separate firewire input for each system that wanted
to watch 'live' tv. Is that correct..?

On Friday I get the cable system installed. I already questioned them
about the digital box, and they would not give me much information on
it, who made it or anything. Do you think I should call and make sure
they are brining the right unit out..?

When using firewire, does audio come over it as well or do I need a
separate card for audio.

I have an Audigy 2 sound card in my system now and my Gentoo install
sees the card and the firewire port no problem, so I am very excited
to give this a try.

I have everything emerged, now I have to work on getting it (mysql,
etc) all set up and running!!

[mythtv-users] Auto(?) scanning of QAM channels

2005-03-27 Thread Mark Frey


Well I have just finished rebuilding my Myth machine with a PVR-150MCE
and a pcHDTV 3000. It's finally all working but I have one remaining
problem. I'm using the pcHDTV to tune QAM channels over my Comcast
cable. One of the channels is the Kids channel which only seems to
broadcast a couple of hours a day, and if I tune that channel any other
time Myth freezes with messages from the backend saying waited to long
to read data from the card (I assume the dvb driver is crashing). I
don't care about this channel anyway, so I just use myth-setup to remove
it from the channel list. The problem is, Myth seems to periodically
re-add this channel. Does anyone know how I can delete this channel
permanently?

SV: [mythtv-users] Blurry pictures after ivtv upgrade

2005-03-27 Thread Mogens Lunde


I ran an apt-get upgrade and apt-get dist-upgrade this morning (included an
upgrade of ivtv). After this all channels are extremely blurry with frames
slowly rolling from right to left. I can see that the channels displayed
are
the correct ones, but the picture is very distorted.

I have not yet been able to succeed using my PVR-350's output in
Mythfrontend, so I have not flagged this option. But yesterday pictures and
sound was just fine.

This are the current installed versions from /var/log/rpmpkgs:
ivtv-0.2.0-65_rc3g.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm
ivtvdev-0.8-1.rhfc3.at.i386.rpm
ivtv-firmware-1.8a-4.at.i386.rpm
ivtv-firmware-dec-2.02.023-4.at.i386.rpm
ivtv-firmware-enc-2.04.024-4.at.i386.rpm
ivtv-kmdl-2.6.10-1.770_14.rhfc3.at-0.2.0-65_rc3g.rhfc3.at.i686.rpm

What can I do to go back? Will I need to downgrade, and how should I do
this.

Thanks!

Mogens

Can I anywhere see which upgrades were actually performed this morning
(logfile or something)? I have searched for this but still I can only find a
file with actual packages installed - not changes to packages.

If yes, will it be safe to downgrade to the earlier package?

Anyone seen it where you change a channel while under LiveTV and there is no 
audio?  And then if you exit LiveTV (esc) and enter LiveTV again the audio now 
works?

Anyone seen this?

Another odd thing - if I change channels the playback is broken up and jerky.  
If I exit and enter LiveTV it's smooth again.

I swear LiveTV HD (ATSC) playback was better about 6 months ago :(  Not 
complaining - just commenting. :)  I appreciate all the hard work by everyone.

Re: [mythtv-users] Record this show on this day every week

2005-03-27 Thread Risto Treksler



Are you just trying to record all new episodes once a week?

Set to record any time on any channel
and set record new episodes only for duplicate policy.


what i kind of want is an option kind of like
find one episode and record
but
find and record one episode every day

this would be good for the daily show
where the same episode is shown up to four times per day
but the time slots vary and often there is no subtitle to use 
for dupe detection.

currently i just picked one timeslot and I hope for no conflicts
since that's better than recording it four times per day

come to think of it
a max episodes per day setting wouldn't be bad either

if i set that seventies show to record at any time
i get 7 unique episodes per day!

setting a max of 2 per day would be nice i think
i know i could set it to just not record new ones when max episodes is reached
but it wouldn't really work

say i watched the daily show and deleted it
it now shouldn't record again until tomorrow

say, i let it record up to two episodes of that seventies show
come tomorrow, unless i don't delete them, i don't get new ones.


Sorry for the long brainstorm

 I'm using all modes of detction and I can say that it's pretty darn close to

[mythtv-users] Changing who mythtv is run as...

2005-03-27 Thread Tony Paterra

I originally installed myth as root to try it out...  Now I want to
migrate it to either my personal user or a new myth user for safety
reasons.  I was curious if fellow myth users could shed some light on
any gotchas that I might hit (e.g. any directories that need to be
moved outside of $HOME/.mythtv).  Anything I need to re-configure as
myth?

Also as a separate note what is the relationship between the DB and
the stored files?  I am going to be putting in a separate hard disk
shortly to expand my ability to download shows and I'd liike to keep
the 10 or so shows I currently have.  Does anyone have a recommended
way to move my current directory of shows to a new directory and not
confuse myth?  (assuming the drive is added properly and has been
mounted).

Thanks in advance for your help.

[mythtv-users] Need advice re: xorg.config setup

All,

I have mythtv working, for the most part, but only when my computer
when it's hooked up to the 17 flat panel display that I used for the
initial install.  I'm trying to switch over to using a TV by
connecting to the S-video-out jack on my geforce card.

Is there a preferred process for building/installing/troubleshooting
an xorg.conf file?

It seems that when I install and test an xorg file that proves to be
invalid, it hangs my system and I have to do a cold reboot. If I try
to switch back to a previous copy of xorg.conf that was known to work
(i.e., with the flat panel monitor hooked up instead of the TV, using
that copy of the xorg.conf file), the sound and/or video drivers
appear to be messed up and I have to go through loads of
retesting/reinstalling drivers to figure out what was broken...

Is it normal to see this level of frustration with xorg.conf
diagnostics?  Am I doing something wrong?  Is there some magic command
and/or procedure that I am not aware of?

[mythtv-users] DVB Cards




Guys,

I've just installed my first DVB-T card in my myth 
box (it already has a PVR-350 in it).

The channels set up OK, I can record of the digital 
source, however when I go into watch tv, it only brings up my PVR-350 input's 
channels, not the digital card ones.

I've noticed however IF I'm recording something on 
the PVR-350, THEN I can browse the digital channels.
What gives? Is there a button to CHANGE CARD/SOURCE?

[mythtv-users] audio pitch to weirdness on channel change

2005-03-27 Thread Felix Huttmann

hi
I have yet another problem. sometimes, when I change the channel in
livetv, audio becomes very high pitch (minnie mouse voices) or very low
pitch (monster-like) or sometimes stays / becomes normal again. I have
not yet noticed this in recordings. I then have to exit live tv and
enter again and everything is normal again.

when I adjust playback speed with 'a' the audio still sounds the same.
A/V stay in sync all the time.

my setup:
- fedora core 3 with atrpms's mythtv-suite but I have noticed this with
debian/packages, too, both on the same system
- my soundcard is snd-cmipci (cmi83??) but it's the same with snd-es1938
(ess solo-1)
- k7 1700+ , 768 mb ram, nforce2 ( but the onboard sound is disabled )
- DVB with skystar2 2.6c
- the problem occurs on all channels.

I hope I could descibe the problem properly. thanks for answers.

Nope, it's AGP.  I've only got one PCI slot (shuttle SN95G5) and it's

[mythtv-users] Sinus top lines moving slowly from bottom to top of TV?

Since I changed to an FC3 installation (installed a big HD at the same  
time, had been running netboot) I've had these big sinus top lines  
moving very slowly from the bottom of my TV screen to the top. There are  
one or two on screen at the same time, and I'd guess they take 30-60  
seconds (not at my myth box right now) to move across.

It looks like a simple analog disturbance in the picture, but I don't get  
it when I watch TV directly on the same cable, so I'm guessing there is  
some interference created by something in my Pundit box. Can the harddrive  
cause something like this? Or is it a sign that my (rather hot-running)  
250/350 combo is not feeling well? :)

[mythtv-users] Tips for fixing prebuffering pause and WriteAudio: buffer underrun

2005-03-27 Thread Michael Carland

I seem to have all of my install mistakes corrected, except for one.

When I play recorded content all is well. But when I play live TV, I get
many  prebuffering pause messages, and an occasional WriteAudio: buffer
underrun. The video stutters during the prebuffering messages.

I done some googling, and tried a few things, but have not been able to
get around this. I am looking for tips on how to find the source of the
problem.

I have tried vmstat on both the frontend and the backend, and don't see
anything that stands out. No swapping, plenty of memory, at least 20% idle
cpu on both ends.

I have the Extra audio buffering checked. I tried the Aggresive
Soundcard Buffering, but it didn't help, so I turned it back off.

I am using ALSA on the frontend, and other than the stutters, it sounds

Re: [mythtv-users] Getting mythtranscode to work with MP3 audio

 I get following for this file:
 
 
 mythtranscode -i 1021_20050320090700_20050320090700.nuv

The problem appears to be in the mpeg2trans portion of the transcoder,
but I haven't had time enough to track it down yet.  I did notice
that if I use the -c and -s options to specify chanid and starttime
instead of using -i to just give a filename, that the transcoder
will use the other decoding code which can handle the audio in
the sample files I've looked at.

Can you try transcoding the same file supplying the chanid and
starttime instead of using -i with the filename?

Is it possible to tell MythTV to record a show on a specific day every  
week, when that show sometimes moves? The record in this timeslot 
every  week option sometimes isn't enough. :)
Yes.
Just asking because on some shows I now have 5 or 6 schedules for the 
same  day since the channel likes to move things around, sometimes as 
little as  5 minutes.
Go to Custom Record, preferably with current CVS. Enter a rule name
like Simpsons or whatever. Choose Match an exact title (with 0.17
choose Match words in the title). Click Add Choose Anytime
on a specific day of the week and click Add Now edit the box
to change the title to The Simpsons and the day to Sunday. You
should now have something like this:
With 0.17:
AND program.title LIKE The Simpsons 
AND DAYNAME(program.starttime) = Sunday 

With current CVS:
program.title = The Simpsons 
AND DAYNAME(program.starttime) = Sunday 

[0.17 requires the first leading AND , CVS does not.] Click Test.
You should see a list of Simpsons for only this Sunday and possibly
next Sunday if you have listings that far ahead. If there are other
repeats earlier on Sunday, you could also add Only in primetime
too. Once Test shows you just the episodes you want, click Record,
choose to record at any time and set the options just as you would
for any other record rules then choose Save.

Is your 6600GT the PCI-E version? - does linux work correctly with PCI-E

I have a 6600GT in my desktop box - nice card :)
But that other box is just my tv recording box.

Nope, it's AGP.  I've only got one PCI slot (shuttle SN95G5) and it's got 
an HD-3000 in it.

578 fps seems awfully slow though.

Re: [mythtv-users] How well does commercial detection work?

 Using default, blank frame detection.

You're probably better off using the new All method.

 1st commercial break
  Enter off by 25.13 seconds
  Exit off by 19.17 seconds
 2nd commercial break
  Enter off by 28.62 seconds
  Exit off by 34.68 seconds
 3rd commercial break
  Enter off by 49.70 seconds
  Exit off by 49.28 seconds

What kind of TV cards are you using?  It sounds like this
could be related to the fact that some recordings have show
that is recorded at one FPS while the commercials are at another
FPS.  This would account for the commercial markers being off
more and more as you get further into the recording.

Re: [mythtv-users] How well does commercial detection work?

 Well, this is still pre 1.0 software.  I dont think flawless is going to 
 happen any time soon.  Pretty damn well? Yup, Ive got that.  Only a 
 couple HD shows get screwy, Alias and Lost off the top of my head.  SD 

Well, I record Lost regularly and just started recording Alias a week or two
ago in order to test with that also, so hopefully I'll be able to figure out
what's going on with these.  Don't expect anything before 0.18 though,
because I don't want to make any detection changes that could make detection
worse for other cases.

 shows are spot on except for maybe a sec or two.  I have to say tho, 
 about 90-95% of the time, commflagg works fine for me using the Blank 
 Frame Detection.

For a lot of shows, blank frame works great, probably even 100% for some
shows.  It has been shown to have a hard time with dark shows including
the Law  Order type series.  I personally use the All method and have
AutoSkip Off.

Re: [mythtv-users] MythVideo Issues w/ ATI TV-Out

2005-03-27 Thread Simon Hookway

Hey Dave,

Did you fix this problem? 

I had this issue and found something that worked for me. Anyway, i'll
post my solution so hopefully someone else will find it in the archives
should they need it in the future.

Basically, you can tell fglrx that the tv-out is the primary all you
like but it seems to ignore it (check out the X-Server log file).
Anyway, the bit I added was getting Overlay onto the TV as it can only
be on one output device and is by default on the primary. 

I have the following in XF86Config-4:

Option DesktopSetup  0x0100
Option MonitorLayout AUTO, STV
Option OverlayOnCRT2

The last one is the important one i think.

I'll note that i don't actually have a CRT connected.

Hope that helps. If you found a different solution i would be interested
in knowing what it was.

Cheers,

Simon

Re: [mythtv-users] How well does commercial detection work?

 I have it set to use all detection modes.  I can not say it is 100% but
 it is very very close.  With only a few exceptions about the only
 commercials it seems to miss consistently are those sponsor bits usually
 at the end of a show that appear to be part of the actual show just
 before it rolls into the real commercials.  

Are you using current CVS or a release version?  I made a change related
to this a while back and am curious if it is still happening for some people.

 I've been using the All option since it was introduced and, I have to 
 agree that it was MUCH better then than it is now. Must be sensitive to 
 the type of signal or something.

When is then?

Re: [mythtv-users] How well does commercial detection work?

I am not sure who you are quoting in this message, but I will chime in.
Within the first week that you introduced the ALL method, detection was 
simply amazing.  I have never seen it work so well.

Then I saw a message from you saying that you had to loosen up the 
concept of black.  After that, detection really took a hit.  Ever 
since then it is not that much better than it was before you add the ALL 
method.

I almost exclusively record HD material on my HD-3000 cards.  I watch 
*very* few non-HD shows.

[mythtv-users] Need advice with xorg.conf setup

All,

I have mythtv working, for the most part, but only when my computer
when it's hooked up to the 17 flat panel display that I used for the
initial install.  I'm trying to switch over to using a TV by
connecting to the S-video-out jack on my geforce card.

Is there a preferred process for building/installing/troubleshooting
an xorg.conf file?

It seems that when I install and test an xorg file that proves to be
invalid, it hangs my system and I have to do a cold reboot. If I try
to switch back to a previous copy of xorg.conf that was known to work
(i.e., with the flat panel monitor hooked up instead of the TV, using
that copy of the xorg.conf file), the sound and/or video drivers
appear to be messed up and I have to go through loads of
retesting/reinstalling drivers to figure out what was broken...

Is it normal to see this level of frustration with xorg.conf
diagnostics?  Am I doing something wrong?  Is there some magic command
and/or procedure that I am not aware of?

[mythtv-users] SVid Out Problems(PowerStrip xvidtune)

2005-03-27 Thread Jim Oltman

I have tried xvidtune, telling it to widen the screen and move it up. 
The numbers change, but the screen does nothing.  I have also tried
loading windows on a seperate hard drive and running powerstrip with
no joy.  I can change the numbers so far then boom, screen goes ape. 
But up to that point, the screen doesn't move.  Does xvidtune and
PowerStrip only work ong VGA/DVI out?  How can I move the screen
around with out using OVERSCAN in Xorg and not using the
nvidia-settings tool?  Thanks!

[mythtv-users] Need help getting Lirc to work with pvr-150

2005-03-27 Thread Andy Alsup

Hi,

I used Jarod's doc to set up:

- Myth 0.17 from rpm
- lirc from rpm with New Hauppauge grey/black lircd.conf from Jarod's howto
- FC3 upgraded kernel to 2.6.10-1.770_FC3 with apt
- pvr-150 using ivtv  0.3.2m compiled from source

using this setup, I load the lirc_i2c module, start lircd, start irw
and don't see any output from button pushes.

I do see that irw opens and closes the conection to lircd.  and if I
load myth, I see that a connection was opened as well.

So, it would seem that the lirc part is at least connecting.  I'm not
sure lircd is seeing the hardware though.  The device in /dev is a
socket.  Shouldn't it be a char 61 device?

srw-rw-rw-  1 root root 0 Mar 24 14:57 /dev/lircd

One more thing, when I load the lirc_i2c module, I get:

lirc_dev: no version for struct_module found: kernel tainted.

Does kernel tainted mean anything?

[mythtv-users] Autopackage

2005-03-27 Thread Jeff Wormsley

Saw an article on Slashdot about Autopackage.  It supposedly is a binary 
packaging system that can handle multiple distros with the same 
package.  Considering how many people use different distros, I'm 
wondering if this ought to be looked into, or if it is so much more work 
it isn't useful.  Might be nice though, to have one official binary 
package for most users (I'm sure Gentoo users would rather retain 
Portage, but who knows?).  Just a thought, as I know zero about building 
packages of any type.

Re: [mythtv-users] Tips for fixing prebuffering pause and WriteAudio: buffer underrun

On 28/03/2005, at 9:15 AM, Michael Carland wrote:
I seem to have all of my install mistakes corrected, except for one.
When I play recorded content all is well. But when I play live TV, I 
get
many  prebuffering pause messages, and an occasional WriteAudio:

underrun. The video stutters during the prebuffering messages.

I done some googling, and tried a few things, but have not been able to
get around this. I am looking for tips on how to find the source of the
problem.
I have tried vmstat on both the frontend and the backend, and don't see
anything that stands out. No swapping, plenty of memory, at least 20% 
idle
cpu on both ends.

I have the Extra audio buffering checked. I tried the Aggresive
Soundcard Buffering, but it didn't help, so I turned it back off.
I am using ALSA on the frontend, and other than the stutters, it sounds
fine.
Hi Michael,
I had a very similar problem which cropped up after switching to ALSA 
output. After a long saga of list-trawling, it turned out to be an 
error with an uninitialised variable in Myth's ALSA audio module (I so 
wish C++ would regard this sort of thing as an error). After grabbing a 
patch from CVS and rebuilding, all is fixed.

The patch against 0.17 is attached. Since we have the same frontend hw, 
I could look into making the (RPM) binaries available if there's 
somewhere to drop them.

Matthew.

Re: [mythtv-users] Live TV stops after a few hours.

2005-03-27 Thread Ken Mink

Welcome to the group. This is a known, yet not wide spread, problem
where the backend crashes when the live buffer gets full. A bug was
filed in bugzilla on it and it has been posted to the dev list a
number of times. Currently the only work around that I've seen is to
set your live buffer to be very large and remember to change channels
every once in a while. My problem is that I forget to pop out to the
menu before going to bed or leaving for the day.

Re: [mythtv-users] Blue band right side of picture

 what I am trying to explain.  There is a blue background, X.  It is
 the size of the screen indicated in the xorg.conf.  The output from
 the nvidia card is not evenly placed on the screen.  The output is
 slightly to far to the left on the horizontal axis but not on the
 vertical.  There is more of a space on the top of the screen than the
 bottom.  When I run the overscan from nvidia-settings, the screen
 reaches the bottom and the left first.  There is a picture that is
 layed over the top of the background.  We will call this the image.
 In my case the image is not covering the screen completely.  It is
 right several pixels and down several pixels which means I can see the
 blue background on the top and left of the screen.  I tried the
 xvidtune and it did absolutely nothing.  I told it to test the
 settings and nothing happened.  The screen didn't look like it moved
 at all.  I applied the moving left settings and tried to play a
 recording and still had the same blue bars.
 
 Will xvattr allow me to move the screen over?  It obviously controls
 the color settings.  What else can it do (man xvattr doesn't reveal
 much).

Re: [mythtv-users] How well does commercial detection work?

 Within the first week that you introduced the ALL method, detection was 
 simply amazing.  I have never seen it work so well.
 
 Then I saw a message from you saying that you had to loosen up the 
 concept of black.  After that, detection really took a hit.  Ever 
 since then it is not that much better than it was before you add the ALL 
 method.

Thanks, this is helpful, thanks.

With the new ALL method, the Strict Commercial Detection setting wasn't
being used, so I just committed a change to CVS to use it in the blank-frame
detection code to allow reverting to the stricter black-frame detection that was
put into CVS when I first added the ALL method.  If you are using ALL and you
don't have Strict Commercial Detection turned ON, can you try turning that ON
and seeing if it helps detection for you?

Re: [mythtv-users] Up/Down keys

2005-03-27 Thread Dan Christensen

aaron [EMAIL PROTECTED] writes:

 Is there a way to stop the Up/Down keys from jumping back and forward
 while watching a recording? This feature has been bugging me ever
 since the code was checked in way back when. Particularly since it's
 unintuitive; Up should jump forward rather than backward. 

I was just investigating this yesterday, since I wanted to swap the
behaviour of Up and Down when jumping (but retain the way they change
channels).  It seems like this isn't possible (at least with 0.17).
ChannelUp and ChannelDown are hardcoded to do jumps if you aren't
watching live TV.

I wonder if there should be finer control of the context that is
used to set keys, maybe with inheritance.  So there could be a
LiveTV subcontext as well as a RecordedTV subcontext, and one
could separately choose when Up and Down are mapped to...
